You have no idea what you are writing about. Here in Texas, I contract with many
local companies for various jobs, including sewer replacement, roofing, fencing, walkway
replacement, tree planting, or swimming pool remodeling. The contractors that come to my house
is always a white guy. I had to pay high prices of $48K two months ago for the new sewer line, but the labor
force is all Latinos. Texas could not survive without them.
This forum is about illegal immigration not Latinos here legally so what's your point? Texas has a high concentration of both but they don't represent the entire nation. There are approximately 60 million Latinos both legally and illegally in our country combined compared to 270 million non-Latinos.
You sound like only Latinos will work labor intensive jobs and that's simply not true. It's just where there is a high concentration of them you will naturally see more of them doing those jobs. Unfortunately, many of them are here illegally.
Many contractors do hire a lot of illegal aliens to increase their profits. Texas nor any other state should survive on illegal labor. They are breaking the law and the business owners are discriminating against American workers by doing so. By the way, no ethnic group or race holds the corner of the market for hard work either. Being exploited by being here illegally doesn't necessarily equate to being a hard worker either.

If your ancestors came here legally and had assimilated to their new country, didn't commit crimes, didn't depress wages and didn't live off of the American taxpayer then there was absolutely no reason for bringing up them up.
We`re having an extended period of low unemployment numbers that haven`t been see since 1969 and we need workers. All 4 of my grandparents, my father and uncle were born in another country. The grandparents had kids who fought for your freedom in WW2 and worked in factories and put their children through college. Problem?
"stolen documents"
different time from now and those folks you are tlking about are the very people who got a leg up over others

Lol. If you are a citizen and you don't work and "pay your taxes", then who is going to pay for all of their freebies? Hop to it, you have many millions of mouths to feed.

But the difference is that you didn't invade a country to avoid working, because you heard that everything would be free, right? Can you see the difference? Or, maybe you did exactly that and see nothing wrong with what you did. Either way, they need to go home and take their anchor babies with them!

And, they reproduce like rabbits in order to get more public assistance, and when one doesn't have to hold a job, they have plenty of time to fill making little public assistance dependents!
